Can we get various controller options? Can't change gamepad buttons or choose controller layouts?

[XenoMars]

I can't seem to go to the "Change Control" scheme in the options. It's been wiped out and can't go in. I was able to change this on PS4, so why can't I do it here?

Also, the control button icons are weird. The button layout in-game are Xbox One controls (for the face buttons), yet the D-Pad layout is DS4.

Just give us option to just choose various controller layouts (Switch-DS4-Dual Sense-Xbox One-Series X).

If Monster Hunter Rise, Kena Bridge of Spirits and Death Stranding can give us these controller layouts. Then GOW needs to the same as well.

Other than that. I think the port if fantastic! Getting 80-100FPS with High settings and Reshade on with no stutter other than some rare ones when entering a new area (it would pause for 0.5 seconds).

Playing it with Give Me God Of War on first playthrough. My goodness! The control response is so much better! I can dodge the last minute (giving me i-frames) compare to PS4 pro where I would probably die in some of these close moments.

Why can the controller not be remapped?

Is this a joke in 2022? You can reconfigure the whole keyboard, but as soon as you
touch the controller you can´t change those!?

Are you kidding me? This is unacceptable tbh!

I'm surprised though, that nobody complained about that yet...

When will this be added?

Yes, I know I can remap in Steam, but this isn´t the only game I play with a controller.

Thanks!

Default & Flipped = RT/RB -> Attacks
Classic = X/Y -> Attacks

I posted this earlier as well.

It is ridiculous that you can change keyboard mapping, but not gamepad.

Hope we get it this on an update as well as the ability to change controller UIs (DS4-Dual Sense-Xbox One-Series X-Switch).

If Monster Hunter Rise, Death Stranding and Kena Bridge of Spirits can do this. Then every PC game moving forward can.

When I "posted" it, I´ve seen nothing about it and wondered that nobody is pissed about it.
Absolutely unacceptable. Great game so far, even highest difficulty isn´t that bad as I expected. But having to use the Bumpers constantly is uncomfortable.

You can remap the whole keyboard though...

[XenoMars]

There is an option in the menu to switch the attack buttons from bumper to Square and Triangle "Classic Style".

But yes, we need full button control layout. I would love my shield to be L2 instead of L1, Since I prefer aiming using L1.

You can switch those to Square and Triangle, still awful that they don't let you just map the entire controller by yourself, we're not in 1995 anymore

It has also been discussed in this thread a little.

I completely agree and personally need remapping before I get this as none of the presets suits me. I think they should just merge the "Combat" and "Interact/Evade" options into one "Button Configuration" option. It only adds up to six layouts (A-F). Then, they could just add a Custom one at the end and you press confirm or a menu function button to enter the remapping screen, like in Nioh 2, for instance. "Quick Turn" option could be kept and apply to all layouts. They could also add switching between various button icons (Xbox/DualShock 4/DualSense) to another menu function button there, since some space is needed for the controller layout. And all selections in options should be accessible with both gamepad and keyboard/mouse, of course, that's a rather odd feature that is not seen in many PC games.

"Change Controls" and "View Controls" could be for just keyboard, since the whole controller layout can be shown in Gameplay section.

lol... that is exactly my issue and what i posted... the moment you move the stick or so, the "change controls" is greyed out. looking at the controls doesn´t do really... i know what does what, but i can use shoulder buttons for constant action. absolutely unnatural movement, hence why it is used for minor stuff in most games and not for the main actions.

but i have to check about the other layout option. which should be in "change controls" though. but if i can´t change this, it is uncomfortable to play and i might need to play with m+kb and i really don´t want to do that with a hack´n´slash.

THAT WAS THE SOLUTION! THANK YOU!

i was changing options with mouse as always on pc, before i play with a controller. so the moment i went into the option WITH my controller, it showed what it changes! i think i had it on classic before, but it might have switched back.

Default & Flipped = RT/RB -> Attacks
Classic = X/Y -> Attacks

now i can fight much better!

cant change button bindings on controller?

I'm using an xbox controller and ive tried as hard as i can to get used to the r1 and r2 buttons for attack. I dont like it at all and keep dying because of this control scheme. I want to change it back to square and triangle like the old games (x and y here). If I click my mouse it will let me change bindings for keyboard but not if im using a controller. I have read old threads on reddit for ps4 or 5 where people have changed the controls back to square and triangle. what gives?

Remap gamepad controls?

I see that the option to change controls is grayed out. Does this change later in the game or are we unable to remap the gamepad controls? I've been playing Sekiro lately, and the difference in controls is throwing me for a bit of a loop 😅

You can change around a couple configurations or swap things like dodge & interact buttons. It doesn't feature full remapping though.

Can you? Does that open up later in the game or something? Because with "change controls" grayed out, I don't see where I would be able to change them.

[Fëanor]

Nevermind, I see it. It's under "gameplay."
